    Great app, I’ve enjoyed it for years but they raised the price in Nov 2025 to $3.99 from $1.99. Sorry but $48 a year is too much.

    I feel like I just paid admission for an amusement park and then on top of that every time I get to a ride, I have to pay another fee. Me being my naïve self decided to think that because I spent money on an app not only would I get higher quality, but wouldn’t be paywall behind another subscription service. One of the reasons why I picked this app over the other app was in the feature photos, it shows a quick overview of what is happening each night. I pay for the app, I searched for this really neat feature to see what’s happening, and then guess what? I see a premium badge. I say oh I guess this is for me since I’ve paid money already for this app. But no actually just because you paid five dollars I guess makes you a basic sucker, sorry customer. No if you want to be premium give us either $2 dollars every month or $20 a year. I’ve requested a refund. I don’t recommend this at all. Don’t advertise features that are behind a subscription with being explicit that the service is part of the subscription. It’s bad business practices.
  • Do not pay for this app

    I just purchased this app and anything I’m zooming, it is all blackout. I’m using default settings, on regular iPhone. This is just a waste of money
  • Paid for functionality that isn’t present

    This author failed to make my paid for iPad version update because it was an old iPad. Now they want $50 ? So I can wait for the next unsupported fail mode? There is a chance it was another app but I don’t think so.

    Paid $ but app keeps interupting for a review. F off figure out yourself whether people like based on whether they use it.
